Han cock's Corps, and enable that gallant officer to take the field, mid Paw new honor for himself and his comui.iud. It would be particularly gratifying to me to participate iu the proceedings of a War meeting lit Tammany Hull, where patriotic voices have ulvvays 'icon lieurd in seasons of public adversity and peril, ciistuiuiiig the cause of the country, mid cheering 011 those who were periling their lives in its defense. It is risrht that its venerublo walls should rn- echo now to the same declaration of devotion to the country when the existence of the emu- try is endangered by treason nnd reckless vi h nco. Much as we desire peace, it is manifest that it can only be secured bv 0 viiror- oua and persevering prosecution of tho w ir until its authors are expelled from the country which they have devastated anddishonored.

With the assistance of the powerful minds and strong arms of its members, there shoeld be no such word t failure ill nuy operatior not even in th t of putting down by force of onus, the existing gil'iiiitii: Rebellion against tho constitutional rule of the (lovcrninent.

Tossing to anoth er topic Mr. Brady snid that from that very pliitlonn where lie stood he bad been hurled by violence, and escaped through the narrow door of the lml I when he stood to bnttle for tho rights of the South. Mr. Brndy then allu ded to the fact Ihut in tho happiest days of our Union no man dare go to Charleston and express his sentiments, if thoy were opposed to Slavery. But any Southerner could come bere and, in tha public hotel or thoroughfare, could speak his sentiments without any danger of violence or insult It was hard to bear but we did bear It, for the Fake of the Constitution and the Union. We bore it as long as wo could, end 1 think wo bore it much longer ructions among our people, caused by imnn triotic factions and by the sympathies of th of the disloyal among us, in determined to make one grand effort to force ns hack, will probably be the last! To make it sur that the enemy fhnll not stny our triumphal march, it is nocressnry for us to give to. the Government sufficient force to make such a re sult "mpns-ible. With our greet preponderant- ol population it is easy to do so. With (treat force on our side, this war will ho short Let us all therefore take a part iu order that its horrors may be more cuuuly divided. No man can afford to bo unpatriotic in timo of war; tins tins beeu proven, ami there are numbers of persons living who nro prncticle ex amples of tho fact Let every man therefore who values his future nnd that of Ins children, enter the service oi his countrv, if his circitin Bumues peniiii unn too; nun n not it-t him if possible keep in the field a representative l1 or tue mass ot men the inducement to enter the service are now so great thnt no one need claim that he should be exempt because they mo oti iT--iiicr. j-,irry uue wnoso circumstances pennited him to shoulder a musket in this war bus done so, and others who have not done their duty nt home to men in the held will regret their lack of nction when peace again smiles over the country to late tneu tor lliem to repair their error, aseven their childreu will tell them.

The object is to work in tho most legitimate manner eouceivable, by fair appeals to the people, leaving them to render their verdict, for or against slavery, at the ballet box. Necessary as it is to defeat the rebel armies, the dwtruotiou of slavery is as abso-tutcly indispensable. The mere military subjugation of the South cannot restore the Union. To effect this.lhere must le eitl r a moral conquost of the iree States bv tho I r.. . ... J stave states, or ot the slave States by tho free. The former is impossible. 'Never can the peoplo of tho free States bo made o disbelieve in freedom and bel'evo slavery. Hut the peoplo of the slavo States both can and will bo won to beliove in frotdom and disbelieve in slavery, aud tho Louisville Convention Las taken a grand pre-limiunry step in this eminently just and practicable as well as most necessary work Tiny who think the Union can bo per manently reconstructed half free and half slave, wholly fail to see tho fact chiefly important to a correct understanding of the rebellion. Tho war was tho result of the conflicting tlements of freedom "snd slavery united under one govemmont The antagonism cannot bo explained by "aprice, fanaticism, partystrifo, etc. Unless the sentimentof justice had been oradica-i ted from the human mind, the resistance of that sentiment to dominating Injustice was tne most absolu'o of certainties. The protest of freedom was irreprcssiblo. It is now too lato in history to deny that tho love of liberty as the birthright of man, is a positive, indcsttuctible and incessantly active force in tho world. Indeed, nothiu,, is plainer than that this force hts been and is steadily augmenting in volume and power, genorated in the direct proportion of progress in civilization. Tho Constitution would at lust have been peacefully amended, in tho mode Itself proscribes, and the utrocity quietly eradicated. Had tho cause of the slaveholders been righte ous, tkey could havo afforded to abide the issue of argnmenbj and rotes, Hut, fore. onmr dh.a .1 I. .1 - t, , v.u6 gun uuu uupuiuss uiscoiuoture in thic direction, they transferred tha trial from the tribunal of popular justice to tho battlo-ncld. ' ho transfer was the desper ato dictate of extreme peril. Tho fairqucs-tion which wo havo. new to answer is, whether, having so far beaten slavery iu argument as to drive it thence to thesword we can rcsonably hope to socuro a permanent peace by re-entronchiug tho embittered foo in constitutional guaranties. e-vidcntly, tho snino battle Would only have to bo fought over again, with every prospect ot a like or worse result. It is on all hands conceded that reconstruction would involve some constitutional changes relating to slavery. Wo would havo to protect it, or disown it, or treat it ambiguously. Tho mattor could nut be tolerated. The nation must either accept or repudiate slavery. Tho former may bo thought of when our millions of frcedmcu have been made the mudsills of the slavi oligtio'iy not betoro. Tho Constitution of the restored Union esnnot bo nuutrn! on this point, cannot be ainh'tt ions, cannot he pro-slavery. It must then be intolerant nf slavery. This is it lieee'sl'y to which the war has driven the people of the frco State. Compromise has been tried, produced war. nnd eann.-t be trusted again. J he nation is torced to n liar and distinct interpretation of tlio Constitution, or such a remodelling of it thnt i' shall most unequivocally Rustniu or reject tho "peculiur institution.' To sustain, is out of the question. To reject, is the sole alternative. While it is itnpossib a for the ffre Stnto to become sluvc, and while recniistruetioi with slavery would but invite a second rc hellion, it is highly possible for the slave States to become free, and thus lorcver e.-clude the only foe to tho permanency o'' the Union. The States of New Kngland, with New York, Pennsylvania, aud New Jersey wore once slave. Knlighteriei sentiment and interest have made then, free. Under the teachings ot the fathers of the republic, slavery was once diminishing in the South. Her moral aud rclig ious classes condemn ;d it. When it grew to be very lucrative, it gave birth to in genious apologists, who soon become d . fenders of tho iniquity. Pro- sla very ism ai length so fur dominated iu the North thin the abolitionists hud to endure hitter per- sedition. But, with frco speech vei guarantied, public sentiment in the North was redeemed. The denial of free speech in the South prevented that result there. Mark how great is the work siuce accomplished! Tha process can now be crried forward to completion. The war lias taken free speech, a free press, and prevailing free opinions into every free slate State penetrated by the national arms. The Union ialchion blazes i h the. light of truth and freedom. The bcuighicd and suffering people wolcome its rays. They exposo the rotteuuess and wickedness oi the slaveholders causs, and compel it herctolbre deluded but now undeceived victims to full t'rem and denounce it. Lot the armies nnd the light go on! The advancing ensign of the Union is the banner of radicalism, around which, at Inst, the people may gather for free discussioi',ar,(l call to cast out the devil from their land. Tl e works progresses bravely in .Maryland, Miueouri, Arkansas, Tennessee and Louis-iana, and like fruits can be expected to follow like culture in every other slave Sttte of the I'niou. The ground has been well broken .in obstiuate Kenlticliy, To the organized emancipation movement, the past, the present, und the auspicious future cry of ''Forward!" Tho .National Radical party will, in not many months, bo risitig to triumph in each of the lately rebellious States.

"From the beginning of Mr. Lincoln's Administration, we were well satisfied, that instead of being an honost man, ns he has been so extensively reputed, he was one of the most deceptive, cold-blamlcd, unfeeling and hatest men that ever assumed tho reius of government. In Mr. Lincoln's person are embodied all the elements essential to make a foolish monarch and a senseless tyrant. An u ifortunnte sevies of circum stances combined to force him into a posi tion where his mind found the food his nature craved blood and victims. He was thrown into a field of nction when the restraints of law could oot curb his mean nature uor his vuin ambition. Opportunities he cannot resist, and these indulged still further cultivate his spirit of rercnge. and still further harden his obdurate heart. The very position which he occupies, aad which should have exalted almost any re spectable, ordinary man, orly assisted iu bringing out in bold relief the csntcmptible. meanness of the manlie is a bloody mon-tter. He is helfi Pandora box brought to earth and reopened for the destruction oj this foolish penpe who hug htm to their botoins until, like an Kgyptain adder, he stings them to death.

In less than one year, he has, by tho force of circumstances, certain ly not by his wisdom, become absolute monarch, over a race of imbeciles, who, be cause they deserve it, havo become willing slaves and vassals.

Previous to the mission of Jlr. Jay, charges against the chief magistrate, though frequoutly iiminmitcd, had seldom been directly made Hint mission visibly affected tho decorum which had been usually obseivcd towards him, and tho ratifications of the treaty brought into open view seusations which had long been ill concealed. With equal viruleneo, the military and political char acter nf the President tcai attached, and ho was averred to be totally destitute pf mint either as a soldier or a statesman Tho calumnies with which he was assailed were not confined to his public conduct: even hit tjualitia as a nan wero tho sub jects of detraction. That ho had violated the Constitution in negotiating a treaty without the previous advice of the Senate, and in embracing within that treaty subjects' belonging exclusively to the Legislature, was ojcnly maintained, for which an impeachment was publicly suggested; aud thut he had dratcnrom the treasury for hit privrttust more than the salary an vexed to his ojjke, was unblushingly assert cd. This last allegation was said to bo supported by extracts from the treasury accounts which had been laid before the Legislature, ud was maintained with the must perscrcrinq effrontery. Though the The Louisville Convention. The freedom Convention hni performed its task of organizing a Radical Emancipation party for the slnvo States. The object is to work in tho most legitimate manner eouceivable, by fair appeals to the people, leaving them to render their verdict, for or against slavery, at the ballet box. Necessary as it is to defeat the rebel armies, the dwtruotiou of slavery is as abso-tutcly indispensable. The mere military subjugation of the South cannot restore the Union. To effect this.lhere must le eitl r a moral conquost of the iree States bv tho I r.. . ... J stave states, or ot the slave States by tho free. The former is impossible. 'Never can the peoplo of tho free States bo made o disbelieve in freedom and bel'evo slavery. Hut the peoplo of the slavo States both can and will bo won to beliove in frotdom and disbelieve in slavery, aud tho Louisville Convention Las taken a grand pre-limiunry step in this eminently just and practicable as well as most necessary work Tiny who think the Union can bo per manently reconstructed half free and half slave, wholly fail to see tho fact chiefly important to a correct understanding of the rebellion. Tho war was tho result of the conflicting tlements of freedom "snd slavery united under one govemmont The antagonism cannot bo explained by "aprice, fanaticism, partystrifo, etc. Unless the sentimentof justice had been oradica-i ted from the human mind, the resistance of that sentiment to dominating Injustice was tne most absolu'o of certainties. The protest of freedom was irreprcssiblo. It is now too lato in history to deny that tho love of liberty as the birthright of man, is a positive, indcsttuctible and incessantly active force in tho world. Indeed, nothiu,, is plainer than that this force hts been and is steadily augmenting in volume and power, genorated in the direct proportion of progress in civilization. Tho Constitution would at lust have been peacefully amended, in tho mode Itself proscribes, and the utrocity quietly eradicated. Had tho cause of the slaveholders been righte ous, tkey could havo afforded to abide the issue of argnmenbj and rotes, Hut, fore. onmr dh.a .1 I. .1 - t, , v.u6 gun uuu uupuiuss uiscoiuoture in thic direction, they transferred tha trial from the tribunal of popular justice to tho battlo-ncld. ' ho transfer was the desper ato dictate of extreme peril. Tho fairqucs-tion which wo havo. new to answer is, whether, having so far beaten slavery iu argument as to drive it thence to thesword we can rcsonably hope to socuro a permanent peace by re-entronchiug tho embittered foo in constitutional guaranties. e-vidcntly, tho snino battle Would only have to bo fought over again, with every prospect ot a like or worse result. It is on all hands conceded that reconstruction would involve some constitutional changes relating to slavery. Wo would havo to protect it, or disown it, or treat it ambiguously. Tho mattor could nut be tolerated. The nation must either accept or repudiate slavery. Tho former may bo thought of when our millions of frcedmcu have been made the mudsills of the slavi oligtio'iy not betoro. Tho Constitution of the restored Union esnnot bo nuutrn! on this point, cannot be ainh'tt ions, cannot he pro-slavery. It must then be intolerant nf slavery. This is it lieee'sl'y to which the war has driven the people of the frco State. Compromise has been tried, produced war. nnd eann.-t be trusted again. J he nation is torced to n liar and distinct interpretation of tlio Constitution, or such a remodelling of it thnt i' shall most unequivocally Rustniu or reject tho "peculiur institution.' To sustain, is out of the question. To reject, is the sole alternative. While it is itnpossib a for the ffre Stnto to become sluvc, and while recniistruetioi with slavery would but invite a second rc hellion, it is highly possible for the slave States to become free, and thus lorcver e.-clude the only foe to tho permanency o'' the Union. The States of New Kngland, with New York, Pennsylvania, aud New Jersey wore once slave. Knlighteriei sentiment and interest have made then, free. Under the teachings ot the fathers of the republic, slavery was once diminishing in the South. Her moral aud rclig ious classes condemn ;d it. When it grew to be very lucrative, it gave birth to in genious apologists, who soon become d . fenders of tho iniquity. Pro- sla very ism ai length so fur dominated iu the North thin the abolitionists hud to endure hitter per- sedition. But, with frco speech vei guarantied, public sentiment in the North was redeemed. The denial of free speech in the South prevented that result there. Mark how great is the work siuce accomplished! Tha process can now be crried forward to completion. The war lias taken free speech, a free press, and prevailing free opinions into every free slate State penetrated by the national arms. The Union ialchion blazes i h the. light of truth and freedom. The bcuighicd and suffering people wolcome its rays. They exposo the rotteuuess and wickedness oi the slaveholders causs, and compel it herctolbre deluded but now undeceived victims to full t'rem and denounce it. Lot the armies nnd the light go on! The advancing ensign of the Union is the banner of radicalism, around which, at Inst, the people may gather for free discussioi',ar,(l call to cast out the devil from their land.
